Cavaliers vs Bucks
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: WCGV, DAZN-CLE
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Combo: 4.85x
- Under 237.5 total points
- Cavaliers moneyline
- James Harden Over 2.5 threes
Quinn Allen expects Cleveland to win outright in a lower-scoring matchup against a Milwaukee team that ranks 24th in offensive rating despite playing at one of the league's fastest paces.
Harden has attempted at least eight threes in three straight games, giving him a path to another three-plus triples against the Bucks in our Cavaliers vs. Bucks predictions.
Timberwolves vs Spurs
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: DAZN
- Analyst: JC Blanco
Combo: 4.25x
- Timberwolves +12.5
- Under 228.5 points
- Timberwolves +7.5- 1st Half
Blanco's three-leg combo pairs Timberwolves +12.5, Under 228.5 points, and Minnesota first-half +7.5, banking on a competitive, lower-scoring game.
San Antonio has allowed just 106.7 points per game during its three-game winning streak, while Minnesota is averaging 59.7 first-half points, supporting the selections in our Timberwolves vs. Spurs predictions.
Thunder vs Rockets
- Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
- TV: NBA TV
- Analyst: Ed Scimia
Combo: 6.31x
- Rockets -2.5
- Over 218.5 points
- Alperen Sengun Over 19.5 points
Ed Scimia is backing Houston to cover against an Oklahoma City squad missing several key defenders, including Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Alex Caruso. He also likes Over 218.5 points because of the Rockets' offensive efficiency and expects Alperen Sengun to score at least 20 after reaching 23 points in three of his first four games.
